Where our heart meets our hands

HOW WE RESTORE HOPE

RESILIENCE BEGINS HERE.

Across Tigray, children and women face trauma, separation, violence en the long-lasting effects of conflict.

We help rebuild safety, dignity, and hope - one family at a time

Every child deserves a safe childhood.

Every woman deserves a life free from violence.

Every community deserves to be helped in a sustainable way

The reality in Tigray, Ethiopia:

  • Children are abandoned during traumatic events

  • Women face severe violence, trauma and stigma

  • Babies loose their mothers in childbirth, risking malnutrition or death

  • Families have lost their loved ones, livelihoods, homes, and access to basic services.

  • Many communities have created a beggar mentality through the distribution of aid and material support.

These are not temporary problems.

They affect learning, mental health, survival and the future of an entire generation
